In early November, a Googler took to Google+ to list a few of the “spec compliant” USB Type-C cables available on Amazon. While there were plenty of cables they did not recommend for usage, cables from iOrange-E were high on the compliant list, and for a limited time, you can grab a few at a discounted price on Amazon, thanks to these coupon codes.

There are three cables on sale, a 1 foot, 6.6 foot, and 10 foot cable. With codes applied, the 1ft cable runs $8, the 6.6ft costs $9, and the 10ft cable will run you just $10. Each cable is eligible for Prime shipping, so once purchased, you can receive them in a very timely manner.

To claim, hit the links below, add them to your cart, and then enter in the cable’s respective coupon code.

Question on the Cables. Can you then use any charger and safely charge? I know you won’t always get “quick charging” but can I use say a 2Amp charger?

I bought two of these cables when they were on sale before and I do not like them. The cables look nice enough but they are way too rigid and if you turn them the wrong way it feels like they’ll break or something. The wires inside are too bulky or something it seems. Is this something people like about cables?

I want 3′ cable, which doesn’t appear to be one of the length.

I don’t get this. Tim said “they are high on the complaint list”

Pedro

Or “compliant” for the less dyslexic.

Essentially, the cables meet the USB C spec. Many are being sold that do not.

Joe Fischer

You don’t have to be a total dick about it. I’m sure you misread things from time to time too. Douche bag

Lighten up, Francis.
It was a mild joke at a simple mistake..

What makes them “Google-Approved”. Bought a usb type c to a the other day on amazon, and it doesn’t fast charge in my car. I have dual port adapter that has one port for QC, and the other is 2.4a. I read on the reviews that if you plug it into the 2.4a port, you’ll get rapid charging. But I just get regular charging. Any ideas? Or is the only way to get rapid charging is by using type C to C?

David Imel

You have to use c to c to get rapid charging. Fastest a-c can push is 2.4A. C-c can does 3A if you have a compatible charger.

I’m not so sure. My wife’s 5X shows as “Charging Rapidly” when plugged into a 2.1 amp Samsung charger. We are using a spec compliant USB 3.1 C to A cable from TechMatte.

paulmike3

Not so sure about what? Rapid charging is not possible on 2.1A, so your supposed up-to-spec cable is identifying itself as capable of pulling 3A and doing so from a source that’s not built or spec’d to handle more than 2.1A. Keep using it, and you’re likely to fry your charger or worse.

CheckR calls the cable good. And proof of the 5x reporting as Rapidly Charging.

Just got the C to C from Anker along with the Vinsic car charger . Don’t think I’ll need another one for a while.

bnm27

sadly, this sale is only for the C to A cables, not C to C

pingnon

They might be Google approved and on sale, but these are USB 2.0 cables, best to get 3.1, a little more “future proof”

Ben Murphy

Damn, I just bought a few a couple days ago.

Rafy286

What are people generally buying these for? The box already included a USB C To USB C and also USB C to type A?

bnm27

the include C to C cable is only ~3 feet, and C to A connector is only about 1 foot, they are basically worthless to me

Ben Murphy

The USB C to A is only 1 foot long. I needed a longer one for my car charger so I could charge while it’s on the magnetic mount.

epps720

Need extra cables as I don’t want to ever carry them around. Need a cable for each car, one at work and one for home

Aaron

5x only came with a c to c. And we have tons of legacy wall warts lying around.

Does anyone know of quick charging micro USB cables about 6 feet long? I’m stuck in the old age with my N6 lol.

Aaron

I’ve never had any problems with QC with any cable I’ve used on my N6. Just make sure you have a QC 2.0 charger. Aukey makes decent cables and had a pretty good deal for a pack of 5 not too long ago on Amazon.

Matthew Rebmann

Tronsmart cables sold through amazon are great quality for a good price and they’re rated for quick charge. Used them with my 2014 Moto X before I got the Nexus 6P. My lady uses them for her Galaxy S6 as well.
